View NotesNotes:
Some of the tuning, crowd noise, etc. between songs appears to have been edited out slightly. Alan J. Fink retracked disc 2; the resulting disc now sounds smoother at the track transistions then the original source discs.

D1t01 (Me and My Uncle): cuts into beginning, split second lost
D1t06 (Mexicali) Cuts @ 1:21
D2t01 (China Cat) Volume change @ 3:39
D3t03 (Eyes) Cut/splice @ 6:27

Complete show with AUD patches via Dave Greenberg and Jim Powell. Retrack of CDA seed circulated 3/2003 to incorporate separate crowd tracks into song tracks. Different lineage from <a href="http://db.etree.org/shninfo_detail.php?shnid=969" rel="nofollow">previous seed</a>. Cut to start Me & My Uncle patched w/ AUD, no cut in Mexicali. Does have anomolies in China Cat & Eyes noted in that seed.

View NotesComments:

- It's known that there is another audience recording of this show taped by Karl Ryan which
  contains both "Jack Straw" and "Dark Star", I'm hopeful that I may be able to obtain a copy.


Notes:

- All tracks pitch corrected
- The tape was paused between most tracks, these have been smoothed out.
- This derives from the same master as Shnid 154414 which has been used to patch the last 1:51 of
  "El Paso", there are also several smaller patches for continuity purposes. Thank you Andrew F.
- Shnid 32367 has been used to patch in the whole of "Jack Straw" and "Dark Star" except for the
  last 2:52 - Thanks to Charlie Miller. Both of these tracks have been remixed to mono, as has the
  last part of "El Paso", so  that they are a better fit.
- The first 38 seconds or so of "Let It Grow" have some tape damage, so it has been matrixed with
   the soundboard to repair it.
- There is some tape damage in "Johnny B. Goode", this has also been matrixed.
- There is a 56 second patch in GDTRFB and several others, for continuity, in set II.
- The vocals were quite low in places and have been boosted.
- Some background noise has been removed.


Thanks to Doug Lamarre for providing his tapes.

Thanks to Matt Vernon for the transfer and for facilitating.

Taper Notes:

View NotesNote: Decent 1973 AUD, unfortunately, large segments of tape side-A were marred with bleed-thru in the right channel. Those sections were cross-faded to mono using the undamaged left channel: MAMU 2:35 > RRose (all) > LLRain 6:38, Deal 0:23 > 4:14, Mexicali 0:53 > TLEO 0:08, & TLEO 3:20 > 5:19.
